In the US South, #thinning is important to maintain healthy and productive pine #forests. 🌳 🌲

It increases future sawtimber yields, improves the forest's resilience to pests, disease and fire, and enhances wildlife habitat. 🌍 pic.twitter.com/SyRdObt43s

Our recent #biomass animation explores the #carbon cycle - what it is, what happens when there are too many carbon emissions and the opportunities for carbon removals. 🌳🍃 pic.twitter.com/HxWgAZBW7M

— Drax Group US (@DraxGroupUS) January 24, 2023

For working #forests to provide benefits to the climate, nature and local communities, they must be grown, managed, used and reforested. 🌲🌳

Our latest #biomass animation explains more - what working forests are, why they are important, and how they can be sustainably managed. pic.twitter.com/MIetpTExVs

Did you know that #thinning improves the overall health and vigour of working forests? By reducing the competition for resources, trees can grow bigger and stronger. 🌳 pic.twitter.com/fxwFhkYHl1

How can burning #wood be sustainable? 🪵
We source our #biomass from #forests that are constantly growing and absorbing CO2. So, when biomass is used to generate energy, the CO2 released has already been absorbed by the trees and will again be by growing forests. 🌳 pic.twitter.com/SLvHkpRitu

Sustainably managed working #forests can bring many benefits to the climate, nature and people.🌳🌲

Of the 55 million hectares of #forest across British Columbia, less than half a percent is harvested each year, ensuring stable, #sustainable forests. But, there's still a need to manage against natural factors, like fire and disease. 🌲🌳 pic.twitter.com/VOhi6PtVIb
